GAt birth mom and papa called their little boy Ned

Houseboat tied to a big tall tree
Ahome for my mama and my D papa and G me

Already mama's cookin' papa Dsomethin' to Geat
At half past papa he's ready to go
He hops in his pirogue headed Ddown the bay--Gou
He's got Cfishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River
Settin' trapsA in the swamp caGtchin' anyCthin' he can
